A BEAUTIFUL NEW WORLD is the story of country boy Zhang Boa Gun (played by Jiang Wu, Jiang Wen’s younger brother) and his rude introduction to city life in Shanghai. The unwitting winner of a contest with a two bedroom Shanghai apartment as its grand prize, Bao Gun arrives in Shanghai to claim his prize and discovers that he must wait a year and a half for the apartment to be built. Surrounded by a cast of characters including his scheming aunt Huang Jin Fang, (played by Tao Hong, the winner of last year’s China award for best actress), the gritty subway musician Ah Liang (played by Wu bai, Taiwan’s top-selling rock artist), the beautiful Ah Hui (Chen Ning) and her boyfriend Xiao Bai (played by Ren Xian Qi, the top recording artist in China for the last two years), Bao Gun must make a go at life in the big city.
